When I throw, I take OAT into consideration exactly NEVER. I just say I torqued the throw, and to please stop, and oh god why can't I just hyzer again.

A lot of people throw hyzer and anhyzer shots with oat intentionally. My favorite shot is as much OAT as I can control on a Comet, to keep the nose up so it doesn't flip until the last 1/3 of the flight.

There's a better thread for OAT conversations; Pablo, you might get something out of re-reading it.

It still sounds like putting intentional hyzer/anhyzer release versus the plane you are pulling on. If this is what's called "intentional OAT", well that's dandy. I'll just start my own thing and use Street Fighter II moves as my naming system.

There's different forms of oat, what is being describing is more of nose manipulation or pitching attitude. The problem that noobs have with oat is that they have so much of it and don't know what a clean swing plane is or have good swing mechanics.

Wow, even a thread that is just associated with a Feldbeard informational video gets nasty quick.

Because I know everyone cares a bunch about my opinion [sarcasm] I will say that I mostly agree with pablo. Anhyzer angle is different from OAT. But OAT is indeed its own concept, and I have seen one or two people throw with "intentional" OAT very well on a FH, although if you asked them about OAT they would probably tell you it is something to feed horses.

I think OAT is most easily defined as "wobble," which should remove most of the confusion regarding axes, etc. Think about the stupid human trick of someone keeping a bunch of plates spinning on a bunch of poles, the OAT is when the plates start to wobble when they are close to falling. I always heard it was caused by your arm moving faster than your wrist (or snap I guess), which kind of makes sense to me.
